Question for readers/believers of the Christian Bible

[MCWAY]

so your cool with indoctrination huh?

What are you talking about? The subject here is translations of the Bible.

Besides, when you teach kids, you indoctrinate them, depending on the subject matter.

When you become a parent, don't tell me you have no intention of passing your morals and values to them.

Pastor to Host Halloween Bible-Burning Event


A North Carolina pastor plans to host a Halloween event at his church to burn heretical books. At the top of the list — the Bible.

Pastor Marc Grizzard claims the King James version of the Bible is the only true word of God, and that all other versions are "satanic" and "perversions" of God's word.

On Halloween night, Grizzard and the 14 members of the Amazing Grace Baptist Church will set fire to other versions of the scripture, as well as music and books by Christian authors.

“We are burning books that we believe to be Satanic,” Pastor Grizzard said.

“I believe the King James version is God’s preserved, inspired, inerrant, infallible word of God… for English-speaking people."

All other religious or Christian texts are sacreligious, the pastor insists. The list of books being burned will include works written by "a lot of different authors who we consider heretics, such as Billy Graham, Rick Warren… the list goes on and on,” Pastor Grizzard said.

Also on the pastor's list of heretical authors — Mother Teresa, according to a full list that was previously available at the Amazing Grace Baptist Church's Web site. The Church's Web site — which is no longer available — calls the event 'Burning Perversions of God's Word,' and urges parishioners to "come celebrate Halloween by burning Satan's bibles." Calls to the Amazing Grace Church were not returned Thursday.

Some in the pastor's community support the event.

"In my opinion, the King James Version is the only version," Sissy Messer said.

But not all residents of Canton, N.C. agree with the bonfire of the profanities.

“I think some of the newer versions make it easier for people to understand,” said resident Judy Kirby.

The book-burning is being promoted as a social event with a barbecue dinner. The event will run from "7 p.m.- Till," according to the announcement previously posted on the Web site.

Well, if they have any beef ribs left, grab a slab for me. 

When I saw this article, I was completely taken aback, that this was being done by someone with an axe to grind with the Christian faith.

But (and Loco will beat me up for saying this), when I saw the word, "Baptist", I instantly knew what the deal was.

yep independent baptist. And they are serving BBQ chicken. A good friend of the family lives like 2 miles up from the church, I passed by going to a party at his house and their sign said something like "Living in Sin Burn In Hell" I couldn't help but just laugh. About a month later I heard about this and said wow

See?  Told ya!   

I'm seeing a trend here.  These KJV only and anti Billy Graham teachings must be an Independent Baptist thing.  Never seen this among Southern Baptists or Northern Baptists before.

snake handling and kool aid to follow the "till."

snake handling and kool aid to follow the "till."

Actually, any time a party invitation says "7:00 till..."  it really means 7:00-7:30. 

They probably have a Budweiser Communion after the snake handling.
